I have been turning to Canada for news. It might be a little late but I can deal with that. The US is going to need a "radio free europe" soon

But given that they have had over a decade to ramp up their 'hard news' protocols, at what point do they become complicit?

Media often acknowledges their goals of storytelling and engagement.

Isn't a 'vulture capitalist' takeover of government a great story? With a mad king? With sad victims?

We the people are going to deal with this.

If we're coming out in freezing weather and snow now, just wait for summer.

May this regime's demise be swift and severe.

Mainstream media is dead. We need to amplify the voices of @aaronparnas.bsky.social and @underthedesknews.bsky.social

The media is aiding the traitors! COWARDS!

God, what an impenetrable mess! It’s a typography explosion that offers all the “Read Me” lure of a book on Chinese arithmetic.

US Dangerously Close to Authoritarianism, Congress Complicit

Only the WSJ we have crossed the Rubicon. I am shocked and subscribing. NYT TRASH WP TRASH CABLE TRASH How in Gods name has the WSJ become the one to speak the truth.

Another SHOCKER THE NEW YORK POST putting NYT TO SHAME

"Constitutional crisis" is a euphemism for a dictator consolidating power. We need to speak plainly about what's happening.

How many people subscribe to WaPo?

beanjammin.bsky.social•1 day ago

Fewer than a few days ago.

angernotdespair.bsky.social•1 day ago

Thank you for pointing this out. They’ve sold out. An example of why we cancelled our subscriptions

iamladymary.bsky.social•1 day ago

Because. The colors of gentrification.

flugennock.bsky.social•22 hours ago

Actually, the @washingtonpost.com is entirely designed for this; they've systematically suppressed dissent among their columnists — AND their cartoonists — about #Ukraine and #Palestine and have been consistently pro-business. That's basically their job: shielding you from the truth.

transmutedmala.bsky.social•1 day ago

WaPo and NYT are both entirely captured by Oligarchs and Nazis. If you get any of your news or opinions from these outlets, you are under their influence. Period.

They could pivot if they were so inclined, but it certainly seems like they are more concerned with doing the minimum and ensuring their long-term survival. Wild that European media outlets are reporting what is happening here more accurately than media here

Shameful. But, that is why I am here on BlueSky. Looking for reputable journalists doing the real work. I'm very appreciative it launched when it did.

jessbheart.bsky.social•1 day ago

State media not being critical of the state?! Who could of guessed they'd act like this after over a decade of constant mis-information in these two publications....

They deny medical science in the NYT.. Don't expect honesty about politics

walterdragon.bsky.social•1 day ago

Everyone needs to stop buying these fucking newspapers.

battlebee55.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Look at today’s @ajc.com to see good reporting. Relevant, democracy supporting, and investigative.

whap.bsky.social•1 day ago

They are a perfect fit. Obsequious, callow, money grubbing, ill informed corporate shills.

Like a friggin' glove!

The Titanic band was brave. This is the opposite.

wipjenni.bsky.social•1 day ago

I'd tend to believe the lawyers & AGs who have been saying "it's unconstitutional" & "this is a constitutional crisis" for the past 4-5 weeks. However, not a single person is willing to stand behind their flapping jaws and arrest the regime! So, maybe they're ALL lying for airtime while the US dies.

Once again, the “liberal media” are only as liberal as their conservative owners allow them to be.

I know right?!? I haven’t touched the NYT since Friday am, I think I’m well and truly done with all of them, stick w local news and this?

Stop reading, America. It’s pure propaganda!

missrevo.bsky.social•1 day ago

Pretty sure it’s designed to allow it to happen. Pretty sure that monopolization of all media over the last 20 years has led us to this point. Pretty pretty sure both parties allowed that to happen.
